I'm glad you found this post interesting @taliakerch. It took me quite some time to adopt a professional approach to my writing and some of that was down to simple determination and persistence. I'm so glad I stuck at it. If you have stories to tell then please don't hold back, start writing them down. If you might be concerned they won't be good enough then remember that we all have to start somewhere, even people like Stephen King and JK Rowling, and that no one else gets to see what you write unless you choose to share it. It's such a wonderful way to spend your time!
